Bad Investment? I just had to have a Super C about 4 years ago. Bought the first one I saw advertised. Paid $1900 for it along with a worn out 2 bottom plow and a broken FH blade. Got the piece of junk home and tore in to it. $4000 later I had me a nice little Super C. So nice I don't even use it. Sits under a blanket in the shop. As soon as I finish this project a perfect Super C was advertise with a full line of good equipment in the paper for $1100!!!!!! All this tractor needed was paint so we bought it. My next smart move was to buy a 504 diesel I saw in the paper with 1600 actual hours! Only asking $6500. Ilooked at the tractor and bought it, feeling good that I got the guy down to $6000. It had a nice loader with it, a 3 bottom plow and a nice #200 FH blade. Got the thing home and within 6 months the fast hitch quit working right and within a year the engine shot craps. This is STRESS RELIEF for me. I have to keep telling myself that. Nothing makes me unwind like watching those thousand dollar bills sail out the window!!!!!!!!
